You can pry the documents folder from my cold dead hands! If rev installs any folder there i might need to look for another RAD tool, seriously.
It doesn't install one, but in my opinion it should. Any third-party plugins, libraries etc should go in the "My Revolution ....." folder in your Documents folder so they are accessible when you upgrade. Don't you remember the constant annoyance of having to manually copy all your plugins to a new folder whenever Rev was updated? It drove me crazy, so I am delighted with this feature, although I wish they hadn't used the "My" :-) I suppose they could have used the Application Support folder, but in this case, Documents seems a better fit to me, since it is to contain files that we have added manually, not any files that Rev puts there automatically. Rev does not require any of these files and does not insist that the folder be created, so if you don't like this method, there is nothing making you use it :-) The plugins supplied by RunRev (& presumably supported by them) are stored in the Plugins folder in the actual Rev application folder e.g. 2.8.1-gm-1. These are always supplied with a new install, so there is no problem about keeping them in place or up-to-date. Your own plugins are different and so are stored differently.
